Evidence that testosterone and follicular fluid do not interact in the control of FSH secretion in rams. Abstract Text:

C A Price,

The hypothesis that testosterone and inhibin interact in the control of FSH secretion in rams was tested. Adult rams were castrated and were simultaneously given testosterone implants and 3-times daily sc injections of 0, 0.4, 0.8 or 1.6 ml charcoal-treated bovine follicular fluid (bFF). After 1 wk, the implants were removed, and the bFF injections continued as before. Blood samples were taken daily for mean LH, FSH and testosterone concentrations, and every 10 min for 12 h in the presence and in the absence of testosterone for assessment of pulsatile LH release. The bFF specifically inhibited FSH secretion from rat pituitary cells in culture. In the presence of testosterone, there were no main effects of bFF on mean plasma FSH or LH concentrations, nor were these values different from their pre-treatment means (P>0.05). Treatment with bFF did not affect LH pulse frequency or amplitude, but the number of rams showing LH pulses was reduced in the 0.8 and 1.6-ml dose groups (P<0.05). Removal of testosterone increased (P<0.05) both gonadotropins. In the absence of testosterone, no main effect of bFF on mean LH or FSH concentrations was observed, although the 1.6-ml dose suppressed the postcastration rise of both LH and FSH. These data suggest that inhibin does not interact with testosterone and that a physiological level of testosterone is sufficient for the regulation of FSH secretion in adult rams.
